So you know what I was thinking through this whole video? How your back must get sore. I have lower back problems and just watching the angle that you have to bend at to look after that horses hooves makes me hope that you are taking good care of your back. I love watching your videos ☺️
I hurt my lower back when I was 12 years old. I’ve been hurting ever since. That was in the 60’s had to compensate strong upper back. I’ve been in constant pain since 1985. You make do. 5’tall and a long back. Bad combo 😂 = stubby legs. Iz a girl. 4 brothers and I was doing the heavy work with my dad. I’ll shut up now.
@@faragraf9380as if young people can't suffer from chronic issues... My cousin severely hurt his back when he was like, 15 and now, nearly 20 years later it's never gotten better. You don't always recover from injuries, regardless of age.
@@faragraf9380People say this as if being young will prevent long-term health damage.

At the age of 53, a doctor finally gave him a brace, which only serves to help him support the weight of his back. over his body, he lived until he was 70 like this, a lot of pain, he couldn't bathe alone, closed shoes were impossible to wear since he was 40 because he couldn't squat, his left arm became partially paralyzed over time.

Real craftsmanship I've always liked farriery, but as someone wrote, my back can't take it.... Still so nice to see when you give the horse a real treatment
I was a farrier for over 60 years . I’m 82,over weigh , with no back problems, or pain. I was told early on to watch a farrier about my size and build, too learn how not to ruin my back . I did and it worked for me . Oh, 6’3” tall
@@blindandwatching- Right. Owner as obviously trained horse to tolerate being handled and farrier does so with skill. I am understand that this is rudimentary training every owner should do - yet we are such poor horsemen that I struggle to even clean a single front foot and would expect to get kicked if I tried to pick up a rear foot. Our farrier charges a touch extra, but manages to keep horse calm and docile - though it takes (and costs) a bit extra. After multiple rounds, feet are in good enough shape he no longer needs shoes.
It seems like the animals when they are having their hoofs trimmed, are so patient. I wonder if you sometimes get a horse that does not like being shod.
What are you feeling for when trimming the hood? Is the outer part crumbly and you feel for firmness? Do you have to worry about trimming to much? Like a dog mail, just right and too much are a hair away. 😢.
Haii i have a question.. When i'm old enough i want to be a farrier too but how can you see how much you need to take off of the hoofhorn. I'm still a little confused about it haha
What does this horse do when ridden or driven? I would think these shoes would be awfully slippery on most any surface with the smooth toe and just a recess for the nail heads, no swedge.
Sorry, aber immer noch zu lange Zehe und die Streben gehören zum Strahl hin weg! Dazu hätte ich das Eisen mit einer Kappe gewählt um den Druck vom Zwanghuf zu nehmen. Dazu hätte ich die Schenkel hinten vom Eisen breiter gelassen um besser zu unterstützen....
that is the way to trim hoofs and shoe a horse good job young man
Knowing nothing about horses, the thumbnail pic actually helped me understand how hooves grow, and what you guys mean by “heel”.
It's like a tube. Lol
@@Munichismybaby Yes. This is what I mean: what is the direction of growth, and how the frog grows in a different manner.
just wow..the skills required to do this

Very well done. Much improved. Thank you for sharing. 🐴

Horse is amazingly calm throughout process. Great job by owners/trainers and by farrier managing the process.
Just another day at the office for the horse.
Get your nails trimmed and polished. Then a new quad of horse Nikes.

Very talented!!👍👍
This is so cool!!!
Has anyone noticed that the chaps look like they have hooves at the bottom.
The end product was a pretty hoof! =)

Yes, it definitely happens. It's not as fun to film because the horse moves around too much
belt sander on the door of your car very cool
Respect the art, I was always scared to trim my dogs nails afraid I would hurt him !
Haha it definitely takes experience
Красиво, чисто, аккуратно. Мне очень понравилось 👍
Walking horse farriers don’t know , that not all horses have these long hooves !!!
Well done.
Отлично сделал!
How long do you have to work with the hot shoe? Can you "reheat" it
Do the horses get a spring in their step I mean, can you tell that they’re happier😊
Nice work!
Thanks!
Such an amazing job
Good job
Nice job closing over the back of the frog too help hold gravel and debris, hoof can’t clean naturally as well ??
Do you ever come to the UK ??!!😉

Actually yes to all of that. Except I have never trimmed a dogs nails.
Haii i have a question..
When i'm old enough i want to be a farrier too but how can you see how much you need to take off of the hoofhorn. I'm still a little confused about it haha
How do you know how much sole to remove?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What does this horse do when ridden or driven? I would think these shoes would be awfully slippery on most any surface with the smooth toe and just a recess for the nail heads, no swedge.
They are not really slippery unless you are trying to ride only on concrete or asphalt. If that were the case you would use different shoes.
What did you rub on the hoof at the very end?
It's my secret recipe... 😜 it's just an oil based hoof protector
Is that bruising on the front??
Previous farrier must have been paid for nothing.
What is the purpose of the frog?? Is it like a cuticle?
Heart and gravity move blood down the leg, frog helps push ot back up. More to it but that’s the short version.
Poor boy. All bruised up
Does that hot not hurt them? 🤔
Nail salon for horses.
I wonder what was the reason you didn't trim the frog? 😊
The horse didn't really have much of a frog so I wanted to leave as much as I could
How do you not gouge yourselt??
Horse now has to change the height description on her/his passport 😊
Already short
Why don’t people keep the horse hooves clean? That is part of caring for your animals.

Who did you learn from?
You need to fit the toe also!
Anyone else hungry for parmesan?
😂😂😂 love that hoof parmesan
Please explain why you are doing what you are doing.
Cleaning debis. Removing horse shoe. Analyze foot. Trim excess....
Everyone cuts their nails once a month. Horses are no different.
One more reason I am against shoes on horses
